AI is poised to significantly impact the banking industry, potentially leading to 200,000 job cuts over the next few years. A survey of 93 major banks, including Citigroup, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs, revealed that executives anticipate an average workforce reduction of about 3% due to automation. The report highlights that roles involving routine tasks are particularly vulnerable to AI-driven changes.
AI is already transforming banking operations, with tools like JPMorgan's AI cash flow intelligence reducing human workload by nearly 90%.

Citigroup's findings suggest that the finance sector has the highest potential for job automation, with AI expected to add $170 billion to the industry by 2028.
